Infinera (INFN) & Orange to Upgrade AMITIE With ICE6 Solution

Infinera INFN announced that it collaborated with Orange to upgrade the AMITIE subsea cable with INFN’s GX Series-based ICE6 coherent solution. The AMITIE cable is a trans-Atlantic submarine cable that connects the United States, France and the U.K. through the landing stations located in Massachusetts, Le Porge and Bude, respectively.

Beside Orange, the 6,783-km AMITIE cable is operated by Meta Platforms META, Microsoft MSFT, Aqua Comms and Vodafone. While Orange is the landing party for Le Porge Cable Landing Station in France, Meta and Vodafone are the landing partners for Lynn Landing Station in the United States and Bude Landing Station in the U.K., respectively.

Meta also claims more than 80% of AMITIE’s ownership, whereas Microsoft has been granted the cable landing license by the Federal Communication Commission.
